I would highly recommend a place called Jack's (not entirely sure about the name, but it's right around the corner from the old GrandOleOpry auditorium. It's a simple place, pickup at counter, sit down in wooden booths, with excellent ribs and pork.

If you have the time, walk down the block to the Orchid Lounge (that one I do remember) and listen to some music by a less-than-well-known but highly authentic musician (whoever he might be).

Bodacious BBQ

Hwy 42 (White Oak) exit on I-20. Just before you hit Longview. It is on the Interstate.

If you have more time, Hwy 135 South to Hwy 31, back west a few miles to The Country Tavern (famous for ribs). Would try to hit that one around lunch time.
